Expert help for foot and leg pain

Our feet are vital for mobility and balance, and are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. Heel, arch, ankle and knee pain are most common in both children and adults and can become life-affecting or debilitating if left untreated. But there is often a simple solution, if you get a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist Dr David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong says: “People often endure foot and leg pain and concerns for far too long. This can be a result of previous misdiagnoses leading to inappropriate treatment for their condition, or because they simply don’t know who to go to for effective treatment. The feet and legs have quite complex situations which are concerning and unnecessary because most foot and leg conditions can be easily overcome, but with correct diagnoses and appropriate treatment we can now treat most pain, injury and degenerative conditions relatively easily, we can even heal and regenerate joints and tissue utilising the latest medical research and treatments.”
While there are many good doctors and health professionals available right across Victoria, one of the issues we all face is knowing who has the expertise to help assist specific problems, which certainly seems to be a dilemma with many who suffer foot and leg pain, injuries or degenerative conditions like arthritis.
“At Foot and Leg Pain Clinics we see many people who’ve previously been to see other doctors or health practitioners without having found a long-term solution. This can be extremely frustrating for the sufferer and can lead to problems progressing further than they need to. If you suffer any foot, leg, knee or hip pain, regardless of age, you should always seek advice from an experienced musculoskeletal podiatrist, one who keeps up-to-date with the very latest research and treatments. Such practitioners have the appropriate training, knowledge and skills to assist your concerns, related to the lower limbs, in the very best way possible,” Dr Kavanagh explains.
If you suffer from any foot, heel, ankle, knee or hip pain or injuries you can get expert advice from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Melbourne and Geelong.
